Asked by gomathy iyer in Personal Health at 7:49 PM on October 10, 2008

pooja gupte's Answer

Not at all the problem arises when a Rhpositve marries a Rh negative. As this leads to chances of the mother concieving a child of the opposite blood group i.e. A positive woman marrying a A negative man may lead to her concieving a baby with A negative blood group. When this happens the womans body percieves it as a parasite and potential danger thus producing anti bodies to dispose it. This situation is dangerous for both mother and child.

Could you work with disabled adults?

Asked by KABIR RIBAK in Personal Health at 1:51 PM on October 07, 2008

pooja gupte's Answer

Sure why not? There are so many things to do today and you don't really need all of your limbs to do them. Most of us are sitting in front of computers working. I guess what really matters is whether the person is intelligent and competent enough. If that is then no disability can get in the way.
